Network Fault Tolerance (NFT) 
 
Transmit Load Balancing (TLB) 
 
Switch-assisted Load Balancing (SLB) 
When teaming HP NC series network adapters with the interconnect switch, NFT and TLB teaming are 
the same as with any ProLiant system. However, for SLB teaming, the pre-defined switch-to-server 
architecture across the server blade enclosure’s backplane must be considered. SLB requires that all 
NICs in the team must be connected to the same switch.  
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch’s redundant crosslinks add significant advantages when configuring 
teaming for switch fault tolerance. For details, see the 
paper
 located on the ProLiant teaming home page. 
Conclusion 
The ProLiant BL p-Class system is a comprehensive solution for customers operating multi-tiered 
environments that demand space and power efficiency, on-demand computing, end-to-end system 
redundancy, rapid hardware and software deployment, and scalable management. The ProLiant 
p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Kits are part of the family of interconnect options available for the ProLiant 
BL p-Class system.  
Meeting network requirements today and tomorrow, the extensive list of supported features, future 
layer 7 switching, and 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink capability built into every GbE2 Interconnect Kit 
provide the most advanced Ethernet switching technology available in a blade format. Each GbE2 
Interconnect Kit includes a pair of fully redundant, managed Ethernet switches that consolidate up to 
thirty-two 10/100/1000 Mb/s gigabit network adapters to one to twelve external ports. These 
options are ideal for reducing Ethernet network cabling and the time required to deploy, manage, 
and service ProLiant BL p-Class systems.
